Educational Opportunity Program Applicants

NEW YORK STATE RESIDENTS ONLY

What is it?

Who is eligible?

The State University of New York's

Educational Opportunity Program
provides access, academic support
and financial aid to students who show
promise for succeeding in college but
who may not otherwise be offered
admission. Available to first-time,
full-time, matriculated students, the
program supports students throughout
their college careers within the
University.

To be eligible for admission to the

Educational Opportunity Program a
student must: 1) be a New York State
resident for 12 months prior to enrollment; 2) require alternate admissions
consideration; and 3) qualify as economically disadvantaged according to
the guidelines indicated. In selecting
students for the program, priority is
given to applicants from historically
disadvantaged backgrounds. Admission
is subject to program capacity.

Support Services
Educational Opportunity Program
students receive both academic and
financial support. Academic support
services may include: personal
counseling, academic advisement,
tutoring, skill development workshops,
supplemental instruction and mentoring.
As part of the students overall financial
aid package, the Educational
Opportunity Program provides modest
financial aid to alleviate non-tuition
expenses (e.g., books, supplies, etc.).

Campus Participation
The Educational Opportunity Program is
available at all SUNY campuses with
the exception of: Empire State College,
and Adirondack, Cayuga County, Clinton,
Columbia-Greene, Corning, Herkimer
County, Jamestown, Jefferson, Mohawk
Valley, Nassau, Niagara County, North
Country, Orange County, Rockland,
Sullivan County and Tompkins Cortland
Community Colleges.

Fee Waiver
Students submitting applications for
EOP consideration may qualify for
application fee waivers for their first
four campus choices. If the applicant
does not meet both academic and
economic eligibility guidelines or,
if the campus does not operate an
Educational Opportunity Program,
the student will be billed for the fee.

To be eligible for the program as a

transfer, a student must have been
enrolled in the EOP, CD/SEEK, HEOP
or a similar program at his or her
previous college. If the previous college
did not have EOP or a similar program,
the student may receive consideration
for transfer eligibility and should notify
the college to which he or she is
transferring.

Academic Eligibility
Academic eligibility will vary by
campus. To view the EOP freshman
profile for each campus, visit
www.suny.edu/eop-academics.

Financial Eligibility
The table to the right lists financial
guidelines for Educational Opportunity
Program eligibility. To be determined
economically disadvantaged, a student's
household income must not exceed the
amount shown for its size, or the
student's circumstances must conform
to one of the exceptions indicated.
Eligibility guidelines may be adjusted
slightly each year.
NOTE: Applicants who are deemed
ineligible for EOP may still qualify for
admission and financial aid through
other admissions processes.

*Subject to change for 2015-16.
